Tixati 2.88

Tixati

Tixati is a free and easy to use BitTorrent client featuring detailed views of all seed, peer, and file transfer properties. Also included are powerful bandwidth charting and throttling capabilities, and a full DHT implementation. Tixati is one of the most advanced and flexible BitTorrent clients available. And unlike many other clients, Tixati contains NO SPYWARE, NO ADS, and NO GIMMICKS.

Tixati portable version is meant to run on a USB flash drive or other portable media. It stores all its configuration files in the same folder as the executable binary files, and all file paths are stored in a format relative to the program executable folder.

It is important you do not delete the "tixati_portable_mode.txt" file within the executables folder. This file is what triggers Tixati to run in portable mode. (The executable binaries are actually the same as the standard edition binaries.)

When running the portable edition from a USB flash drive, especially one that is formatted in FAT16/FAT32, you may experience some lag when initially loading a new transfer. This is because initializing and allocating large files on flash-based media consumes a greater amount of time and resources compared to a conventional hard-drive.

Tixati has the following features:

detailed views of all aspects of the swarm, including peers, pieces, files, and trackers
support for magnet links, so no need to download .torrent files if a simple magnet-link is available
super-efficient peer choking/unchoking algorithms ensure the fastest downloads
peer connection encryption for added security
full DHT (Distributed Hash Table) implementation for trackerless torrents, including detailed message traffic graphs and customizable event logging
advanced bandwidth charting of overall traffic and per-transfer traffic, with separate classification of protocol and file bytes, and with separate classification of outbound traffic for trading and seeding
highly flexible bandwidth throttling, including trading/seeding proportion adjustment and adjustable priority for individual transfers and peers
bitfield graphs that show the completeness of all downloaded files, what pieces other peers have available, and the health of the overall swarm
customizable event logging for each download, and individual event logs for all peers within the swarm
expert local file management functions which allow you to move files to a different partition even while downloading is still in progress
100% compatible with the BitTorrent protocol
Windows and Linux-GTK native versions available

Tixati 2.88 changelog:

additional Transfer checks to detect inconsistent file structure after downloading metadata
fixed crash when Transfer metadata is reloaded from config file with incorrect file sizes or misaligned piece layout
new optional Transfer columns to show known peer and seed counts
complete re-write of Channel user shared data and Channel Information message caching
much lower Channel memory usage for large shared data sets
smaller channels.dat config file, faster loading on program startup
re-wrote all routines for synchronization of Channel Information and user shared data
faster updating of Channel Information tab between v2.88 or newer clients
much faster and more reliable updating of Channel user shared data
slightly lower bandwidth usage for Channel connections
fixed minor display problems when browsing incomplete Channel user shared data, especially with incomplete images
all Channels now default to 10-year shared data time to live
when switching Channels in list view, now correctly preserves and restores text from outgoing chat message edit box in lower tab
fixed link parsing in Channel output text so that leading or trailing special chars won't be included
fixed minor sorting problems in Channel forum tab
major re-write of some Windows and GTK control classes to fix problems with handle destroy sequencing in complex layouts
fixed crash when program is closed while an open Settings window has unflushed proxy settings
better maintenance routines for rate limiters for incoming connections and torrent hole-punching, should use less RAM
when program is closing in GTK build, the message pump is now forcibly cleared, so that any open property windows disappear without delay
upon quitting program, app-lock is now released immediately before config save, so the wait dialog will reliably appear on quick re-launch
several improvements to CPU and memory state diagnostic profiling, far more accurate readings in the Channels and Netbase categories
updated IP location tables
